A member asked:
Can a chronic anxious state that lasts several months lead you into physical pain that has no apparent medical cause? like chronic headaches etc.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it can: Anxiety takes a toll on our bodies. Holding in anxiety effects our bodies like steam in a pressure cooker without a safety valve would have on the pot. Sooner or later, the pressure cooker would explode. By talking about stressors and finding solutions, Psychotherapy helps develop a safety valve and protects our bodies from the stress. Consider a HealthTap Concierge consult with a psychologist.
